Chankanaab vs. Xcaret?

[MamaParrotHead]

Has anyone been to both? We'd like to do something "adventurous" but not strenuous while in Coz. I've had my heart set on Xcaret, but have been curious as to the similarities and differences between the two. Anyone? Thanks! :)

The simililarites are great... dolphins, great snorkeling, ect. Xcaret has more animals, more 'ruins' to see, cave snorkeling/tubing. But the downside is its on the mainland. Xcaret is a lot larger than Chaka. however Chaka is quicker, easier and cheeper if you are already in Cozumel. If you ever get a chance to go to Playa del Carmen, then Xcaret is the place to go for water fun.
